  • Clay bar?

    Can the clay bar be purchased separately? If so any idea where? Thanks.

    Yeah, you can buy a 3-pack of the Consumer Line bars, or you can buy a tub of the Pro-Line mild clay.

    Havent seen them in too many stores, perhaps online is best.

        I've found the professional clay in a regional, not national, automotive parts chain with a paint department. They usually have it. Try the phonebook for automotive paint and body, if you like to shop local. Otherwise, many Internet places as Brian and Murr have indicated.

            Just a question is it possible to scratch and damage the finish with clay

              With a mild clay, not really, unless you did something crazy...

              You should be using plenty of lube, and chekcing/kneading it often.

                  Yeah, you may get a smudge from the clay now and then, but your next product should remove it easily.

                  I dont know how the Turtle Wax clay is specifically.

                    The clay should not stick at all. It should glide across the surface like a hockey puck. Yes, it is possible more lube will do the trick.

                      Thanks for the replies. I tryed local parts and only found the clay bar in kits. Already have plenty of QD and towels. I'll call some paint suppliers tomorrow. Again thanks.

                        How many veichles do you think you can do with a 50g clay bar on veichles that are pretty clean.

                          Quite a few if you use an old piece for the wheels.

                              Place it in a mug of hot water to soften it up.
